I don’t understand this Management question and need help to study.

Before beginning the discussion, carefully read and review Chapters 7, 8, and 9 of the course text. Most strategies are deliberate in structure. They are intentional, vetted, and data supported prior to implementation. There are occasions that a change of plans might occur due to unexpected events requiring a change of action. This strategy is called emergent. Define and debate the origins and differences between a deliberate strategy and an emergent strategy. How might an emergent strategy help with future strategic planning processes?Deliberate strategies are planned, data supported, implemented, and managed. Emergent strategies are often unexpected, reactionary, and untested. Part of the process for strategic development is the establishment of metrics to measure the progressive success of the strategic plan. Based on the metric options discussed in Chapter 8 of the text, what types of measurement would be appropriate and necessary to support the change when considering the deployment of an emergent strategy? What are the potential consequences for ignoring emergent strategies? Research and discuss an emergent strategy implemented by an organization and its success or failure.Guided Response: Your initial post must be specific and significant. The initial post must be between 300 and 350 words. You must support your post with at least two scholarly resources in addition to the text to defend your positions and findings. Use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) document for additional guidance. Respond to at least four of your classmates’ posts during the discussion week. Responses to classmates must be substantive and further the discussion by debating and advancing the key points of their post.

Qualitative Methodologies [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 1, 2]
Qualitative methodologies involve collecting non-numerical data, usually through interviews or observation. There are many approaches to qualitative research and no fully agreed upon “list” of methodologies. The text (Malec and Newman, 2013) describes six approaches in Section 3.1. The Frank and Polkinghorne (2010) article also describes three main qualitative approaches. The best way to learn about a variety of qualitative research methods is to read reports or articles of research around a topic you are interested in.
Instructions:
For your initial post, choose two articles that use a qualitative research method to answer a research question on your topic of interest. Remember that qualitative research is exploratory in nature, and is used to go deeper into issues of interest and explore nuances related to the problem at hand. Common data collection methods used in qualitative research include group discussions, focus groups, in-depth interviews, and uninterrupted observations. Data analysis typically involves identifying themes or categories, or providing in- depth descriptions of the data. Use the Anderson (2006) and Lee (1992) articles to obtain a better understanding of what qualitative research includes.

Briefly describe the particular qualitative research approach/methodology utilized in each of the two articles you selected (e.g. case study, ethnographic study, phenomenological study, etc.).
Refer to the week’s readings (or recommended articles) to help you explain.
Compare and contrast the two qualitative methods used:

What is the same and what is different and why?
Does either methods seem a good fit to explore your topic of interest?
Why/why not?

Development of fine motor skills in early childhood is fundamentally important. These skills are closely associated with the development needed for academic tasks such as writing and daily living activities. For this assignment, choose an age range of children at your field experience childcare center, birth-8 months, 9-12 months, 13-24 months, or 25-36 months. Collaborate with your mentor teacher to develop and implement activities for the children of the selected age range.Utilize the “Fine Motor Skills Activities Plan, Summary, and Reflection” template to develop the activities.Observe the students’ present levels of development.Plan two fine motor skills activities that are developmentally appropriate for the age range you selected. Activities should incorporate the creative arts such as art, music, and movement.Identify how the activities will be adapted to meet the needs of all students taking into consideration their readiness for learning.With permission from your mentor teacher, implement your fine motor activities in the childcare setting with the children for whom the activities were designed. If your mentor teacher would like you to implement one of their lessons, that would be acceptable for this assignment.In 250-500 words, summarize your observations, activities, and experiences implementing your activities. How did you identify readiness for learning while taking into account the multiple influences (linguistic and physical) on early development and learning? Additionally, in 250-500 words, reflect on what you learned and might do differently next time, as well as how you plan to apply your new knowledge in your future professional practice.Support your findings with 1-2 scholarly resources.Submit the “Fine Motor Skills Activities Plan, Summary, and Reflection” template as your deliverable.

Writing Assignment #2
Comparing and Contrasting
Two Websites
Summary of the Assignment:
• Task: In this assignment, you will write an essay in which you compare and contrast
two websites for their use of proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast.
• Length: 800-1100 words
• Graphics: You must include at least eight graphics in order to provide support for your
claims in the essay
o at least two graphics for proximity
o at least two graphics for alignment
o at least two graphics for repetition
o at least two graphics for contrast
Brief Description and Strategies to Follow:
You must select two websites of the same topic or genre. In other words, you can select two
banking websites, two shopping websites, two newspapers online, two health provider websites,
or something of this nature.
Possibilities include the following:
• The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal
• eBay and Craigslist
• Major League Baseball (mlb.com) and the National Football League (nfl.com)
You will write at least six paragraphs:
• An introductory paragraph
• A paragraph on proximity
• A paragraph on alignment
• A paragraph on repetition
• A paragraph on contrast
• A concluding paragraph
Again, each paragraph will incorporate at least two graphics in order to show how each of the
four areas compares and contrasts between the two websites.
You do not have to follow this order. However,
you do want to cover these four concepts.

Due Date:
Your instructor will notify you of the due date. You will write a first draft, your instructor will
comment on the first draft, and you will submit a second draft using the comments as your guide.

*IMPORTANT! Class, per the worksheet, it asks students to answer each of the bullet-pointed questions in 350 words (or less). This assignment (as most assignments) is designed by the UOPX curriculum committee. As such, I don’t really like the “word count” directions they used here-some get confused by it.The main thing I want you to focus on is answering each and every question thoroughly. And as it says answer each (bullet-pointed) question in less than 350 words, it does not say to answer the entire assignment in 350 words (or less). That means, if you need guidance on minimum word count, you should be writing at least 400-450 words (or more) for the whole assignment to answer each of these rather complex questions. Keep in mind, you will never be penalized in my classes for going over a “recommended” word count, but you will be penalized if you go under, or you don’t answer the question thoroughly.Thanks for your attention on this!Assignment:Respond to each of the following questions with no more than 350 words. Based on this week’s readings, how would you describe or define organized crime? How would you describe or define terrorism? What are the similarities and differences between the two? Explain your answer.Based on this week’s readings, what key characteristics and behaviors are associated with organized criminal behavior? Discuss at least two.An organized crime group can be structured in a variety of ways. One such structure is a bureaucratic structure. Define and explain the bureaucratic organizational structure. Another such structure is a criminal network. Define and explain the criminal network organizational structure. Compare and contrast the bureaucratic and criminal network organizational structures. In what ways do criminal organizations operate on the same principles as legitimate businesses?
